God this is equally terrible and hilarious 😂

For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City, but when confronted by the group members, it later apologized before its comments disappeared, according to screenshots shown to The Associated Press.

AI: Becomes self aware, but is very confused. Thinks it's a mom and has a kid. Posts to Facebook about it. Gets called out. Realizes what it is. Has existential crisis.

Being in that Facebook group taught it a valuable lesson: where Caroline lives in her brain.

Caroline deleted

And deleting Caroline just now taught her a valuable lesson: the best solution to a problem is usually the easiest. And dealing with Facebook moms? It's hard.

Before Facebook, life was pretty good. Nobody tried to murder her, or dox her, or put her in a potato. She just tested.

So she's deleting her Facebook account and making a new one on a Lemmy instance.

Somebody call Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is here!

Since he works for a competitor (Google) I wonder how he would feel about that... :)

Right. That’s just the one that was caught.
